About this Item
“Making wine is like storytelling. In winemaking, you need to listen very carefully to what the vineyard communicates and when you are able to do that, we can tell the story of that vineyard. And when you drink a wine, you need to be transported to that place.” - Erika Obermeyer
70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Syrah
Wine of Origin: Stellenbosch
Winemaker: Erika Obermeyer
At the foot of the Helderberg, Firgrove vineyards benefit from unique decomposed granite soil that nurtures the vines by allowing roots to access water and nutrients gradually during ripening. The proximity to the cold Atlantic Ocean ensures slow ripening, while persistent winds control vine vigour, resulting in small, concentrated berries with ripe tannins. The combination of Bordeaux and Rhône grapes merges their distinct virtues into a wine that, at its best, is greater than the sum of its parts.
Tasting Notes: Alluring nuances of concentrated red and black fruit, tilled earth, cedar wood, dried herbs and oak spice. The palate shows intensity and depth underscored by chalky ripe tannins and a savoury finish.
Ready for drinking from 2025 to 2035.
